Just discovered today that Panera Bread no longer sells their Cuban sandwich, which was an excellent way to get a taste of the southeastern United States (and Cuba, obviously) elsewhere in the country. I haven't watched the sandwich menu too closely, but it appears the replacement is the Mediterranean Veggie.
A healthy-sounding choice, and one I'd probably order. But the Panera Bread employee I talked to said the company should have dropped the "Portobello & Mozzarella" Panini sandwich. "No one orders it," he said.
You had to order extra spicy mustard with the Cuban to get the right effect, and it came on Asiago cheese bread instead of Cuban, but it was awfully good. All the proper ingredients, and pressed thin on a sandwich press. It will be missed.
At Panera you can still get the incomparable Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda and Krunchers potato chips, neither of which are widely available in Nebraska. I'll keep going.
